We reject Islamabad’s obsession with territorial aggrandisement: Govt on Pak’s new map

New Delhi: The government on Thursday said it has rejected Pakistan’s ‘obsession’ with ‘territorial aggrandisement’ supported by cross border terrorism, in a reference to Islamabad unveiling a new political map laying claim to Indian territories.
Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan said the government continues to respond “appropriately” to Pakistan”s malicious actions and propaganda, including on the issue of Jammu and Kashmir, at various international fora.
He was replying to a written question on the issue in Rajya Sabha.
Pakistan released the new map on August 4 laying claim to union territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh and parts of Gujarat.
“Government has rejected Pakistan’s obsession with territorial aggrandisement supported by cross border terrorism,” Muraleedharan said in the written reply, calling the release of the map by Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan as “absurd”.
“It has also been emphasised that Pakistan should desist from laying untenable claims to Indian territories, which have neither legal validity nor international credibility,” he said.
